The first mass production type of high speed rail bullet train, the CR400AF Fuxinghao (The Revival), began its service at Beijing South Railway Station in China this past June, immediately after an unveiling ceremony the day before.

It’s a magnificent HSR train, and it’s a tragedy we have nothing close to it here in the United States. China continues to increase and improve it’s high speed rail routes and fleets of bullet trains.

Meanwhile, America continues to languish in massive vehicular traffic jams and gridlock, traveling aboard sardine-can, customer abusive airliners and being ferried via an old, slow-moving train system not much improved since the 1950s. Do Americans have to go to China or Europe to experience world-class transportation again?

New innovations and improvements in technology and/or construction for high speed rail and high speed rail trains is what we really, really love here at FRIENDS OF HSR. So, we definitely love this post about the new HSR Arc Bridge in China.

With President Trump now working with the Japanese to bring HSR to America, this is especially the time for all Americans to get involved!

Check out the news brief on the FB page for FRIENDS OF HSR and the amazing news it conveys. Our feeling at FRIENDS OF HSR is simple: If they can do it there, we can do it here! Let’s bring high speed rail to America and let China and the world know that we’re back in the game! Read it here: https://www.facebook.com/FastTrainsBook/?fref=ts

It looks like Indonesia is going to be the next country who gets high speed rail and also leap into the 21st century. Were it the United States would also get on board (and get with the system!) and modernize and bring efficiency, speed and magnificent transportation to its people.

Will it take us to be surrounded on every border and shore by an entire world of high speed rail before we get with it?

Imagine traveling from New York City all the way up to Boston and connecting millions of people and thousands of businesses in about one and a half hours of time. And commuting from Boston to NYC and connecting hundreds of cities in between.

Tens of thousands of miles of high speed rail in Europe and Asia is no longer imagination but a reality. And so it can be here in the United States of America. Creating tens of thousands of jobs and ferrying millions of passengers and transporting millions of tons of goods inexpensively between major cities and states in America at 190 miles per hour is the fabulous reality America needs!

Watch this informative and compelling video. And visualize HSR between New York City and Boston and eventually throughout America. Visualization is similar to imagination. But one step away from reality!

It’s our pleasure here at Friends of HSR to share this cogent post from Tim M. Brown and the High Speed Rail America Club. The difference between our current train and rail system in the U.S. compared to high speed rail in China (or anywhere else!) is very telling.
